The Pomona describes a hundred books and manuscripts about fruit, with illustrations taken from some of the most beaitufil books on the subject, as well as original drawings or paintings...Each description makes clear the background of the book concerned and its relationship to others, while a generous number of illustrations in color and black and white help to give an impression of their contents. Many of the Oak Spring copes have particularly interesting associations, recorded in inscriptiojns, bookplates, or binding details, all of which are described."-dust jacket description.
